Clarence, what to say, my big brother. I'll LOVE you forever. So sorry for the way this happened, I wish that I could have been with you, I would have been on their backs mercilessly, to take care of you properly. But, knowing, that without a doubt, You are walking streets of gold, with Mom and Dad, maybe fishing, seeing Jesus, praising God, gives me peace and comfort that this life on earth may be over, but your Eternal Life has begun. Love, watch over us, until we meet again. Your Little Sister, Janice Ann.

May not have known this gentleman but his son is a very good father, worker, and motivator; I have no doubt that he gained those traits from his father. One day I believe I’ll have the honor to meet him up above.
